Staff Development

[kailuaa]

I am not a staff educator, however I am called upon in my capacity as a clinical expert to do staff development, e.g. SLM, competency assessments and so on. I could use some advise from RN educators to this non-educator on the best way to go about handling these request. How on earth do I go about setting competencies?

what is SLM?

One way to set up competencies is to start with the job descriptions. Read books by Robert Mager on how to set objectives (there are websites too) and do evaluations. His books are easy to read and not expensive. Check with the Board of Nursing regarding competencies. Also, check out these sites:
